Codeblocks - open source C/C++ development environment

[Cataddict]

This one has been around for a little while, but I've never seen a post here
about it. Features (copied from their website) listed below. It's still a work
in progress (the version just available is 1.0-RC1), but it is working quite
well for me. Actually imports MSVC++ projects and compiles them (the few I've
tried) coupled with Microsoft's freeware command line compiler and SDK. Worth a
look for you compiler-types. Nice IMHO.

Highlights:

* Open Source! GPL2, no hidden costs.
* Cross-platform. Runs on Linux or Windows (uses wxWidgets).
* Made in GNU C++. No interpreted languages or proprietary libs needed.
* Comes in two presentations: Standalone, and MinGW bundle
* Devpack support (optional)
* Extensible thru plugins (SDK available in the downloads section)

Compiler-related features:

* Multiple compiler support:
o GCC (MingW / Linux GCC)
o MSVC++
o Digital Mars
o Borland C++ 5.5
o Open Watcom
* Compiles directly or with makefiles
* Predefined project templates
* Custom template support
* Uses XML format for project files.
* Multi-target projects
* Workspaces support
* Imports MSVC projects and workspaces
(NOTE: assembly code and inter-project dependencies not supported yet)
* Imports Dev-C++ projects
* Integrates with GDB for debugging

Interface Features:

* Syntax highlighting, customizable and extensible
* Code folding for C++ and XML files.
* Tabbed interface
* Code completion plugin
* Class Browser
* Smart indent
* One-key swap between .h and .c/.cpp files

Download page at:
http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads.shtml

Without a compiler:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/codeblocks/codeblocks-1.0-rc1.exe?download

With MinGW compiler:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/codeblocks/codeblocks-1.0-rc1_mingw.exe?download

I just tried the EasyNews download at the "without a compiler link" and it
worked fine.

Thanks,
I was getting to the "Select a mirror" and selecting from the
sites at the top of the page and did not see the radio buttons at the
bottom.
